Piping Flowers with Russian Tips
Rachael TeufelDescription
Russian piping tips come in a variety of shapes and designs to help you create leaves, flowers, and intricate patterns on your next cupcake or cake. They look best when using multiple colors and tones (head over to Rachael’s free video on Filling Multicolored Piping Bags for all the details). Using a medium-consistency American buttercream, she demonstrates multiple styles of flowers on a flat surface as well as on a cupcake.
Rachael also shares her tips to creating the same flowers with a meringue-based buttercream. Included are pointers on proper pressure and movement, troubleshooting and fixing common mistakes, and how to open the petals up gently to create fuller flowers. Pick up a handful of Russian tips and have some fun playing with the different styles and colors in the bag! With a little practice and patience, you will be piping gorgeous floral designs like a pro!
